of using WordPress

Easy use: it is significantly more user-friendly for developers as well as
non-developers.

use the right extensions.

community which means it is really very easy to find support for any issues
which you were running previously.

WordPress Ease of use

Among all website development platforms, WordPress is the easier
platform which can go from zero to a fully successful functioning website which
looks fully professional and fascinating. You can easily carve your niche theme
and enable it to work for long. The WordPress interface is considered as the
simple for even most casual users to grab quickly. On the other hand, tools
such as WYSIWYG theme customizer and of course, the upcoming Gutenberg editor
can only make it stupendous for casual users which can easily create meaningful
and unique content.

Drupal
Ease of use

Drupal is
quite the opposite. Although, we admit that the Drupal theme do prevail but
Drupal websites sport a high customized theme or custom-coded theme . So, you
have to hire a Drupal Web developer who will build a good looking and professional website.

Apart from this, the interface of Drupal
is incomprehensible for most of the common users especially at first glance. We
are not the only one who is saying this but the Drupal usability page itself
says, “Generally people expect more user-experience when
it comes to content creation than Drupal offers, instead of functionality those
people address the standard for a Customer Management System that is not
available there.”

Look at the following picture for the example of core editor in
Drupal 7:

Yes, its functioning is at a basic level and it is not that
user-friendly in content creation experience but when it comes to the WordPress
TinyMCE editor or the upcoming Gutenberg editor than these are far ahead than
Drupal.

So, we hope now we will be able to decide whether to go for WordPress or Drupal and which one is better. If you want to reincarnate your website and seeking a web development agency then contact to Quantum coders Ltd for availing the high-quality of work.
